High Velocity
A political thriller of nebulous sympathies, set someplace in the Third World and populated by tyrants, terrorists, foreign business investors, and a pair of mercenaries formerly of the U.S. Marines. There is nothing in the course of this flippant male-camaraderie action movie ("You love it as much as I do," chortles one of the bloodthirsty soldiers of fortune. "Yes," admits his more philosophical buddy, "but I don't like loving it") to prepare you for the kick-in-the-groin finish. Ben Gazzara, Paul Winfield; directed by Remi Kramer. 1976.
